The Way I See It, life is too short and we don't take advantage of it often enough. There are too many times I find myself plopped on the couch in front of the TV or even more so the computer, just staring at nonsense. I am trying to cut back on those things since I really only watch mindless TV and end up checking facebook 25 times while trying to earn more swagbucks or trying to find ways to save or eat better on blogs. I don't think there is anything wrong with checking fb or blogs or earning swagbucks unless it ends up being all that you do. I am trying to get out of my spending too much time with technology so I have bought several books. Now by several I mean 6. A little excessive I know, but I really wanted all of them. I find that I am trying to find myself spiritually lately, so those books pertain to those sorts of things, plus some bettering myself and my marriage books too.
Now as I continue my venture to live healthier and exercise, which I might add I am really doing well at. (I am eating much better and exercising at least 3 x per week, YAY ME!!!) I find that I need to cut back on my mindless activities that I have a love/hate relationship with. I love mindless TV where you don't have to think you just watch. Something about that calms me during a stressful day which I have many a days, but I could be doing so much more with my time. I find when I am not engaged in such mindless activities that I will give myself a to-do list or a making a list of ways to better myself that can end up stressing me out. So here I am on here rambling to you about my quirkiness.
My new goal is to cut back on computer and TV time and focus more on preparing homemade meals, reading good books, spending time with my family (dogs included) and friends, finding a church to call home and joining different activities through the church. Those are some things that I think can be productive instead of mind numbing. Have you noticed yourself spending too much time doing mindless things that lead to nothing? What would you like to do instead to benefit yourself, your family or both?
